Time for the wife to go!!!

My wife knows she will go long before my blazer ever does. Just a mention from her about getting rid of it would be probable grounds for termination of marriage for reasons of 'spousal abuse (both physical and mental)'!!

Well the deal is done!!! So I found a Warn M8000 on CL that was priced right and made the deal this afternoon It was mounted spooled out and then never used again and I believe the guy just from looking at the cable. The loop isn't stretched at all showing evidence of actually pulling something heavy. It also came with a warn cover for it. Pics in my build thread.

Went to the salvage yard (the kind u pay out the butt,and they pull the parts) to get my brothers window regulator. While i was there i asked about the price of a control arm since my driver side one is bad (bushings blown). He said if i got one it'd be 25 bucks (the price i pay at the pick it yard and i gotta pull it myself!!!) well i went up in the yard with one of there guys and looked at about 20 s10s etc. Everyone of em were bad. BUT on the way down they had one ina corner so i looked at it. Guess what? the truck has barely 100k on it and the bushings and balljoint felt and look brand new.

25 bucks baby and he brought it to me!

Got the ignition lock cylinder in the mail today, going to throw that in this weekend. Putting the coil on tonight.

*edit*

Got the coil in, the truck is starting much better now.
